King County Proposition 1

[randy_byers]

This is for King County voters in Washington State. How are you going to vote on Proposition 1? This proposition would raise the county sales tax to help with the county budget. I sympathize with the need to do something about the budget catastrophe, but I'm really, really tired of solving our problems with a regressive sales tax. I'm leaning pretty strongly toward voting No on this one, despite the fact that all progressive organizations seem to be recommending a Yes vote. Any thoughts?

Some of the Resentful Rich are already under the impression that only the rich pay taxes, that the poor don't pay any. Apparently these people have been staring too long at the income tax schedules and have never heard of, for instance, a sales tax.
